A listener asks, “Should we ever speak to or address the devil directly while praying to God? I know that it is a common practice in many churches to address the devil directly, to rebuke him, in corporate prayers for example. I consider these practices false as I don’t see any biblical reasons to do so . . . It seems like some people spend a lot of time speaking directly to the devil while praying to God. But should we?” Well, may the Lord give us wisdom not to overemphasize the presence and danger of the devil and demons, and not to underemphasize the presence and the danger of devils and demons. Pastor John aims to strike that balance in this episode.
